""" iwd.py ------ This file contains methods to communicate with iwd via its D-Bus API and control WiFi adapters. Some terms used here, such as device and adapter might confuse you if you haven't used iwctl before. Just as a quick reference, here is a list of terms and what they mean: - ad-hoc: a mode supported by some WiFi adapters to start a decentralised network, where there is no central point of failure. - ap: a mode used to start a central access point so that other machines without naxalnet can connect to the mesh. AP is also known as WiFi hotspot. - station: this is the mode most WiFi adapters use by default. This mode is used to connect to an ap. naxalnet DOES NOT use this mode. - adapter: a physical WiFi chip or something similar that is present inside most laptops and phones or can be connected via USB to a machine. - device: an interface provided by the kernel to control an adapter. Some adapters can have multiple devices so that you can start an ap on one device and an ad-hoc on the other. By default, iwd starts only one device each for one adapter. - machine: Since iwd uses the term device for a WiFi interface, we use the word machine to refer to a computer, or a laptop, or a phone. - node: a machine that runs naxalnet and is therefore connected to the mesh.
